  1. Monkey Shines tells the story of an athlete, Alan Mann (Jason Beghe), who is rendered quadriplegic when struck by a truck. Mann fails to adjust to his condition, becoming suicidal and despondent. When Geoffrey, a scientist friend of his (John Pankow), who has been experimenting with the injection of human brain tissue into monkeys, learns this, he is prompted to supply one of the experimental monkeys, named "Ella" (played by Boo, whose vocal effects are provided by Frank Welker), to Alan as a helper. Their relationship is amicable at first, with Mann's life being made much easier, and the two bond deeply, even sharing poignant moments with moving music. But soon their interaction takes a decidedly sinister turn. The monkey seems to become a telepathic receptacle for Mann's anger at his state and his desire for revenge against friends and family for slights both real and imagined. Simultaneously, Mann develops a romantic relationship with Melanie (Kate McNeil), a specialist in quadriplegia and helper monkeys. The film contains a rare example of an intimate love scene with a severely handicapped protagonist. Ella's protectiveness turns to savage jealousy even as Alan is informed that his condition may be reversible. First, she kills Alan's former girlfriend (Janine Turner), who is now in a relationship with his former doctor (Stanley Tucci), by setting their romantic hideaway on fire. Ella then kills Alan's jealous, overbearing mother (Joyce Van Patten), by electrocutingher in the bathtub. Ella then kills Geoffrey by injecting him with the very syringe of Sodium pentobarbitone he had intended to use on her, and disables Melanie, before trying to light her on fire. Alan, helpless and alone, is able to summon the strength to turn on the tape player with the romantic music, summoning Ella to cuddle close to him. When Ella cradles Alan's head, Alan, rightfully betraying Ella's trust, bites and thrashes his head back and forth in a violent manner, hitting Ella into the handles of his wheelchair before finally relinquishing his bite and throwing her toward the open deck of his tape machine, killing Ella. Alan undergoes surgery to restore his mobility, eventually regaining the ability to walk short distances with the aid of crutches. But before then, as he in rest post-surgery, he has a nightmare that he flat-lines and Ella leaps out of his back while the doctor is making his surgical incision.
  2. was there only 3 different coloured pens? or were there more?
  3. il get onto it now, i need something to keep me busy today.
  4. well if don't have twitter haha, if you do give me a shoutout haha
  5. yeah I've been trying to understand this for a while, i really can't make out the words.
  6. well after watching the movie, its about a helper monkey that has been a test subject, being injected all kinds of drugs/human brains into the monkeys system... when around his new owner they have some kind of special bond, they are almost one....
  7. yeah defo, the shadow looks like he's wearing a hemet, just like in the mystery weapon photo?
  8. well lets start working on it bit by bit, we should start by confirming things we know then choosing one part at a time to solve after
  9. no nazis have always been in the story, they decided not to continue calling it nazi zombies just for sale purposes...
  10. ok so I've come across this movie made by call of the dead's George. i don't know if it has any resemblance but I'm going to start watching the movie now.
  11. i think that the date and location solves a lot for this, most maps we would be working for months to even get a location.
  12. so have we got screenshots of all the graffiti around Verruckt?? if so and there is no more input should we move on???
  13. yeah, you pretty much nailed it. less nazi appeal, more world wide sale
  14. it would be amazing if they did that, then an option to play it originally or upgraded.
  15. i agree completely smith... but they can still be part of the story
  16. i don't know who you are or what your knowledge of music is vonstool, but i have studied everything from punk through to jazz... punk rock has influenced everyone from lemmy, to flea, to jack white. watered down metal my ass..... thats the reason why metal bands are so sad... they think they are better than everyone else... when all it is a double kick, dropped tuned guitar and a dude screaming about being butt hurt... look into the history of punk and you will see they do more with less, and make something from nothing.
  17. yeah you guys really gotta think about the new members coming in.... you don't want bad habits to continue... this is your time to change things like this, i know as myself as a new member i have no right to say but yeah.
  18. sorry yeah the last thing i said wasn't fact, just off the top of my head
  19. the writing on the wall also has a date... 24th of june 1938, I'm sure its talking about the tanguska event
  20. nothing else of interest, i spent 2 days researching that date
  21. place - Wittenau Sanatorium, Berlin, Nazi Germany (aka Karl-Bonhoeffer-psychiatric unit ) date - sep 10th 1945 some info I've found out - The theory of 'racial hygiene' in Nazi Germany held that 'inferior' and 'burdening' people were producing a race of 'idiots', and that, coupled with their perceived higher birth rate, was seen as being bad for the German nation. 'Inferior people', so it was said, should be 'cut out' from socie being bad for the German nation. 'Inferior people', so it was said, should be 'cut out' from society. Such a view led to the setting up of the 'law for the prevention of hereditary pro-creation', which led to the forced sterilisation of around 360,000 people between 1933 and 1945, which also happened in Wittenau The start of WWII brought a further development. Many old doctors from the unit joined the newly formed 'office for the extermination of those unworthy of life' on Tiergartenstraße 4, the so-named 'T4 action' This legalised the 'mercy killing' of disabled, mentally ill and handicapped people. Around 200,000 were killed in total. Wittenau was part of this: Wittenau served as an 'inbetween unit', which meant that those selected by other units to be killed were sent to Wittenau before being sent to other places, where they would be killed. It was done in this way to try to hide the purpose of their transporting. Around 3,000 Wittenau patients were killed in other places in this way. Killing also took place in Wittenau itself. 4,941 people were killed through oral tablets or through hunger. Furthermore, around 5,000 children born with hereditary children were brought to Wittenau in order to receive a 'mercy killing'. Some were used for medical experiments.
  22. i think all the death/thrash/hardcore metal they put in the maps is all pretty lame... in my opinion the best song is on motd, sound garden song rusty cage covered by johnny cash. i like the way it suited the map and time era.. thats what id like to see, a variety of music suiting each map. maybe some queens of the stone age, maybe some good punk bands.... i dunno i just want to see them change it up
